CROSS ROAD BLUES (take
1)
I went to the crossroad
fell down on my knees
I went to the crossroad
fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above "Have mercy, now
save poor Bob, if you please".
Yeeoo, standin' at the crossroad
tried to flag a ride
oooo ooee eeee
I tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody seem to know me, babe
everybody pass me by
Standin' at the crossroad, baby
risin' sun goin' down
Standin' at the crossroad, baby
eee eee eee, risin' sun goin' down
I believe to my soul, now
po' Bob is sinkin' down
You can run, you can run
tell my friend Willie Brown
You can run, you can run
tell my friend Willie Brown
'at I got the crossroad blues this mornin', Lord
babe, I'm sinkin' down
And I went to the crossroad, mama
I looked east and west
I went to the crossroad, baby
I looked east and west
Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman
ooh-well, babe, in my distress
Notes: 1. Webster's defines "at the crossroads" as " at the point
where one
must choose between different courses of action "and the noun
"distress" as "the state of being distressed, anything that
distressed, a state of danger or trouble."
